My husband and I both won the lottery yesterday (and we brought family with us to the city, so it worked out well).
One pair of our seats were Floor 402 and 404, on the stage and all the way to the wall. Gertie sat in front of me for a good chunk of Act One, but I could see fine. Not the ideal angle for the show as we saw a lot of backs, but still excellent to be so close for $40.
The second pair was in row C in the same section - 406 and 408. No obstructed views, but again, a lot of backs.
Sounds like there's no consistency in what tickets are offered as lottery. We've seen the show before from Row C in the dead center of the 200's, and I maintain that's probably the best place to sit.
